Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pediatric patients with extremely severe burns: a retrospective study of 101 cases.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Burn injuries represent a critical global public health issue, significantly threatening human life and well-being, particularly among children. This study aims to systematically summarize the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pediatric patients with extremely severe burns in northern China. Methods: This study retrospectively collected clinical data from 101 pediatric patients with extremely severe burns treated at Beijing Children's Hospital between 2013 and 2023. The data collected included gender, age, cause of injury, location of the incident, length of stay (LOS), total burn surface area (TBSA) and mortality. Results: A total of 101 pediatric patients with extremely severe burns (51.49% male) were included in this study, representing 5.7% of all burn-related hospitalizations at our hospital over an 11-year period. The annual number of admissions for extremely severe burns exhibited an overall declining trend. The highest proportion of cases occurred in children aged 1 to 3 years (61.4%). Two causes of injury were identified, with scalds constituting the majority (81.2%). Notably, flame burns (18.8%) were associated with a high wound infection rate (89.5%), and wound infection emerged as a significant factor influencing the LOS. More than half of the patients presented with extensive burns to the head and neck regions. Additionally, there were 8 fatalities among the 101 patients. Conclusions: In Northern China, scalding is the predominant cause of extremely severe burns in children. Children aged 1 to 3 years should be the primary target group for prevention efforts. It is essential to enhance safety education at both family and society levels.
